<p>Very strong essay and recomendations, and i am a double legacy</p>
<p>Considering the fact that you’re double legacy, those stats seem alright. But most kids who get into WashU have an ACT range of 33-35. Try working on that and taking more AP’s to be safe.</p>
<p>Do you get a higher chance of getting in from a school that is Magnet/IB and is pretty competitive? Because my school is known for being outstanding in the Magnet Department.</p>
<p>Hello! I just got into WUSTL this year and might be going there!! I had practically identical stats with just two points higher on my ACT. I would suggest maybe trying to raise it one more point and since they superscore that shouldn’t be too hard!! Everything else on your resume is almost identical to mine. What you really need to do is show that they are your number one choice. I spent three day overnight at WUSTL and visited two other times and went to a biology presentation. Show them that you really love their school and I you will almost positively get in!! Good Luck!!</p>
<p>Tison- show the school the love, and demonstrate interest, as it should help with admission. My son’s ACT superscore was 32, which is a bit low, but he demonstrated a lot of interest- attended the local rep visit, school visit, and attended WUSTL in December during Xmas break- they were pretty impressed that he gave up a vacation with his family to visit camous when no one was really there. He had a fantastic interview with an admissions officer, and the regional rep who visited Florida remembered my son. My son was accepted.</p>
<p>Asianas- show the school that you are taking the most challenging curriculum available (this applies to any highly competitive school).</p>
<p>How would do I show more interest? (Washu is #1 school). I’m going to there pre medicine day and campus tour and general info session. Because I live 650 miles away from washu I don’t think my parents will let me travel for a winter or spring session or etc.</p>
<p>And Tison not many AP’s in your school. I’m just a sophmore (planning ahead). And the classes I’m taking next year is AP Biology, AP English 3, AP Env. Science, AP US History, AP Calc AB, Hn Spanish 3, and Hn Med Sci 2… I think many people who I saw don’t get offered many AP’s so they have low weighted GPA’s</p>
<p>That’s not necessarily true. The # of AP’s doesn’t really matter. What matters is:</p>
<p>1) Are you taking advantage of the classes your school offers? So if your school offers 2 or 3, you better take 2 or 3. If your school offers 20, you should take as many as you can.
In other words, you should be taking a rigorous course schedule based on what you can at your school.</p>
<p>2) Weighted GPA, and GPA in general, doesn’t really matter as much as you think. This is because no two schools are identical in what a “good” gpa is. Instead, class rank is far more important (note how many students were top 10%). Even if a school doesn’t rank, the region officer should be able to have a general idea of where a student falls with regards to their class.</p>
<p>For example, myself (I know this was several years ago, but my class still had a very low acceptance rate): </p>
<p>Only took 4 AP’s in high school - school offered 2, I self studied 2 (ie we had a Psych class but no official AP Psych). But it was still very rigorous - the school just had/has zero desire to teach to a silly exam, and is of the belief that the courses that were offered were often better (which I happen to agree with in terms of the English/History offerings).</p>
<p>Also, my school didn’t rank or use weighted GPA’s. And not a single student has had a 4.0 in over a decade. But I can guarantee you WashU was well aware I was going to be Valedictorian.</p>
<p>I don’t think WashU cares if your high ACT score was from one sitting or super scored. I know plenty of current WashU students who had an ACT of 32. </p>
<p>If it is your top choice, apply ED and you will get in.
RD is a lottery for everyone that applies. There are RD applicants with your resume that get in and others that don’t.</p>
<p>Will it be normal mail or email? Will it be monthly, yearly or 1 time only? </p>
<p>How would I demonstrate my interest? For me, I’m international student, I can’t just go and visit the school as I want. </p>
<p>I missed the admission session at my school last Wed. It’s not because I wasn’t aware of it. The session was meant for 11&12th grade students while I’m only in grade 10th. Did I lose my chance to show my interest on WashU to the admission officers?</p>
<p>I believe the mailing list is normally regular mail, a couple times a month. I’m not sure if it’s the same for international students. Obviously, wustl doesn’t expect you to visit, I think attending one of their info sessions that you described should be good enough (I assume it is yearly?). If that’s not possible, I suppose you’ll have to rely on emailing your admissions officer and making your interest clear.</p>
<p>@asianas1: I think so. It’ll be confusing to handle all prospective students at once if a lot of students started mailing them w/o actually submit application.</p>
<p>@RyanMK: International students at WashU is about 7%. Is there a specific student associations for each country or one for all international students in general? I’m curious about Vietnamese and Singaporean students at WashU as I’m a Vietnamese and currently studying in Singapore.</p>
